Canadian SME International Trade and Marketing - writings upon readings and continued curiousity
in the realms of cross cultural business. Some of my opinions
are not my own,
but I would fancy to say
nearly all of them
should be credited
to the various authors.

The air quality in the Seoul metropolitan area has become worse than before 2006, when it began trying to improve it. The government has spent W1.5 trillion (US$1=W1,501) over two years on the program.

The Metropolitan Air Quality Management Office under the Environment Ministry on Sunday announced the result of a campaign against smoke-belching old diesel vehicles by three local governments in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province in 2006 and 2007. An average of 58㎍ fine dust particles per 1 cubic m of air were detected in Seoul in 2007, except during dust storms, up 2㎍ from 56㎍ in 2005, the year before the project.

Other pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone and sulfurous acid which harm the respiratory and cardiovascular organs increased by 1 to 4 ppb as compared to 2005.
